chaplainmikey Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Decided to bring my own reinforcements to the honourable IG forum's efforts. :) Having said that I will probably only be able to drum up around 5-600pts worth of Stormtroopers. And my track record for these events is abysmal. Guess I need a Commissar to fire pots of paint at me every time I start lagging behind. Volunteers? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3662788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Don't worry mikey, I am ever watchful and ever vigilant.

You will complete your models or die trying That's what worries me! :P Seriously though with my super quick and simple camo scheme I reckon I should be fine so long as I commit to painting a realistic goal, which seeing as I'm skint is sadly likely. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3663057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It's better to make smaller vows and nibble away at your collection, there's less risk of failure that way :) I'm a bit better off this year in that last time I wasn't sure how much time I had. Though I am quite busy this year too I at least know when I'm away so I can plan better. Any vow is a welcome addition to the war effort, no matter how small :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3663572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think you guys may well come second behind the HH forum. The release of C:AM is certainly well timed for the ETL, but the fanaticism being shown over there will be hard to beat.

our_baz Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Prob a soft question this...but i'll continue. I'm up for placing a few vows for the ETL but I don't have the current / previous Codex to get the points values (the only codex I own is the 3rd edition from '96 which is touch out of date), would this exempt me? I can help you with the points via PM if necessary. I want to see more of your stuff, particularly for the glory of the IG forum in the ETL! Many Thanks! I'll get undercoating then.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Obviously this may depend on whether Traitor Guard remain in the Imperial Guard section or if they are allowed to be entered alongside Chaos. But anyway, being new to ETL but definitely keen to participate this year I was wondering if my ETL WIP thread has to be a new thread in its own right or if I am allowed to 'tac' it on to my existing Traitor Guard thread in order to keep all my stuff together? Obviously if I was to keep it in my existing thread it will be made very clear where my ETL competition entries start and I will only update this thread with progress of my ETL entries until completion to avoid any confusion but thought I had better check to make sure.

Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Regarding the Guard, it depends from which Codex do you price your units from. If it is Astra Militarum then you play for the IG team. If however it's from... another list, it a different case. ;) Regarding your WIP thread it may be a new one or an old one or none at all! As long as you post your "before" and "after" pic in the Strategium thread you'll be fine.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks Captain. I use Astra Militarum at the moment to run my traitor guard so I think I'll be sticking with the Guard team then - which is great, I have had some lovely feedback on this forum so it will be a pleasure to paint alongside them (even if I am technically a traitor... ). There were just some rumours that Traitor Guard may be allowed in Chaos, but I guess that refers to the Forge World lists which i am not familiar with (or maybe 'counts-as' chaos tanks and spawn - first vow will be Leman Russ and Bullgryns - but I think I could rack up more points for my team if I keep them as what they actually are considering how expensive the two units are) so best stick with the Militarum as they are what I am working with at the moment. That makes more sense now. Thanks again. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3666934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chaos dogs will have to beg elsewhere, you're one of us Apostle Well in that case; Dark_Apostle reporting for duty WarriorFish! Just trying to work out the contents of my first vow; with a Leman Russ, 3 Bullgryns and a Priest we are looking at a 405 point contribution. These will be nice units to paint so may get a second in too. I think starting small will be best for my first vow.

spafe Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I will endevour to get my old school stormies re-spreayed for their new paint jobs, and coble together some more 'veteran' units. If its okay with you warrior fish, in week or 2 I will pm you what I have so you can point it up accordingly I assume if i'm working on 3 different guard armies at once thats still okay?

WarriorFish Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 PM Kier and myself, one of us will be able to sort you out :) The colour schemes don't matter aside from completion wise (of course!), so as long as they're from the Guard codex each valid unit you paint can be for a different Guard army if you so wish :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3667930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've assembled my first vow, they're sitting on my desk awaiting the call! :D Now I think about it I could prime them to help speed things up a bit, but I don't have the time at the moment and the weather is a bit rubbish.

Frater Cornelius Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Given that my IG are a Knight household with their own regiment, do I post my Knight together with my IG here or separately over at the AdMech forum?

WarriorFish Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think it is down to your own choice. If you're just doing the Knight and aren't planning on adding any Guard to your vow(s) then you should probably take to the Mechanicus section :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/3/#findComment-3670506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
